Best Answer

An equestrian is a basically a person who rides or works with horses, there are many different types or styles of horse-back riding, and each has its own preffered breed of horses, for example western riders most often use Quarter Horses, and sometimes Morgan Horses for pleasure or trail riding. Dressage horses often use bigger breeds like Hanoverians, racing and jumping horses are most commonly Thouroughbreds or in trotting races Standardbreds are most commonly used... There are many different kinds of horses, of which I can really only name a small amount; Arabian, Quarter Horse, Morgan, Thouroughbred, Standardbred, Apaloosa, Hanoverian, Paint, Draft (there are many different types of Drafts), Falabella (very small pony), Halflinger, Holsteiner, Icelandic, Lippizzan, Hackney, Gypsy Vanner Horse, Morab (cross between Morgan and Arabian), Mustang, Nokota, Pasa Fino, Percheron, Sheltland Pony, Oldenburg, Peruvian Paso, Rocky Mountain Horse, Tennessee Walking Horse, Trakhener, and SO many more that I cant name. But it really depends on the specific sport an equestrian is involved in to be able to specify a certain breed of horse they will need.
